Therapists in California

I have significant experience treating adults and adolescents with eating disorders and am specifically specializing in treating adolescents with eating disorders using Family-Based Treatment. Eating disorder recovery is the goal in working with me. What is eating disorder recovery though? It isn't the absence of disordered thoughts and feelings but instead the absence of disordered behaviors. That begs the question: in recovery, what is present in the absence of disordered behaviors? Normalized eating, which entails eating enough, variety, and regularly, as well as being flexible and eating with enjoyment instead of fear.

Change is possible and I believe therapy is a place where you can explore the challenges and achievements that make our lives feel more fulfilled.

Life with ADHD can be hard and it can feel like the odds are stacked against you.

I specialize in working with adults with ADHD and provide ADHD-informed therapy and assessments.

You just want to feel happy, to wake up and to actually feel excited about your day. You can't remember the last time you didn't feel stressed or rushed.

Imagine what it would be like to feel calm, happy, and confident as you went through you day. Imagine what could change if you were able to start feeling good again.

It's possible to access your inner wisdom and feel a sense of safety and belonging in this world; to hear your soul's calling and respond; to live into your deepest truths. When change is desired, the psychotherapy process transforms overwhelming fears, frustrations, and responsibilities into guides that keep one true to one's authentic path. I am here to journey with you; to help you create a place for your most sacred aspects of self so that you can feel more connected to yourself, to others, and to the world.

My goal in therapy is to put myself out of a job. To do this, I help you figure out what the roots of your problems and needs are, I help you to set clear goals, I use therapies that have been proven to be effective, and then I encourage you to continue the work between sessions using concrete plans you generate during our time together. I have over 17 years of experience in mindfulness meditation, which generates a variety of tools I can use to help you navigate your mind and circumstances. At the same time, my meditation practice helps me to be a creative, light-hearted, and compassionate presence during our sessions.

I promise there’s a reason you’re feeling the way you do, and the reason is more understandable than you think. When we’ve experienced something hard, no matter how much we try to move on, sometimes we can’t shake the leftover bad feelings. These last few years have been tough on everyone - if you're struggling right now, you're not alone. Maybe you can’t sleep, can’t stay motivated, or you’re unsatisfied with relationships at home or work. I work with a lot of LGBTQ youth and adults, couples who can't stop fighting, and burnt out parents. I hold therapy in a social justice lens and care about your unique perspectives.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I have 3 graduate degrees, all in mental/behavioral health, licenses in Co. and CA., and I am comfortable in working with a vast array of issues. I have worked in several mental health settings throughout my career, including: community mental health, hospitals, dialysis centers and private practice. My theory basis is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, but I always work with the patient in their comfort level and style. I strongly feel that therapeutic success comes from my ability to help others help themselves. I look forward to potentially working with you. Dr. Jacks

Transformative potential lies at the heart of all wounding. Trauma, relationship issues and transitions compel us to re-examine our lives, values and patterns that no longer serve. Together we can find and unwind the stuck energies of depression, anxiety and other difficulties to make way for an enlivened and authentic life.
